Chai Pendant with 28 Diamonds, 18K Yellow Gold
The Hebrew word Chai means "alive," and carries the numerical value 18 - the sum of chet (8) and yud (10) - a number considered so significant in Jewish tradition that gifts and donations are often given in multiples of eighteen. This pendant sets that meaning in 18K yellow gold, with twenty-eight diamonds surrounding an authentic stone from Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
Sold with a Goldfield chain; gold chains are available separately.

THE ORIGIN STORY
The Real Story Behind the Stone
In 1999, an archaeological sifting project was established with state approval to recover historical material excavated from Jerusalem's Temple Mount. Moriah Collection holds exclusive rights, under a registered patent, to set these genuine stones into jewelry - and continues to support the sifting project to this day.
We've also consulted halachic authorities, who confirmed the stones (sourced from an area known as Solomon's Stables) are not considered holy and are fully permissible to wear.
Because Jerusalem Stone is natural and soft, it can crack if a piece is dropped - so every Moriah piece comes with a lifetime warranty: if your stone ever breaks, we repair it free of charge.
What Makes Us Moriah
Moriah Collection brings together three natural elements: stone, diamond, and gold. Each piece is handcrafted in Israel around an authentic Jerusalem stone - 100% natural, from the Temple Mount, so no two pieces are ever quite the same.
Diamonds and gold, drawn from the earth long before they're shaped into jewelry, add their own permanence and brilliance.
Together, the three turn a piece of jewelry into a piece of Jerusalem - natural, authentic, made to last.
Everything You Want to Know
Every Moriah piece is set with a genuine stone recovered through the Temple Mount Sifting Project. Each collection is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by Dr. Gabriel Barkay and Zachi Dvira, Co-Directors of the Temple Mount Sifting Project. View Certificate
No - the stones come from an area of the Temple Mount complex known as Solomon's Stables, which holds historical but not religious significance. We've consulted halachic authorities, who confirmed the stones are fully permissible to wear.
Jerusalem Stone is natural and soft, so like any natural stone it can crack if dropped. That's why every piece comes with a lifetime warranty - if your stone breaks, we repair it free of charge.
Moriah holds exclusive, patent-protected rights to the stones recovered by the official Temple Mount sifting project. When you buy from Moriah, you're buying from the source, not a reseller.
Yes, naturally - Jerusalem Stone gradually absorbs heat and minerals from your skin, so its color can shift subtly the more you wear it. It's part of what makes each piece personal to its owner.
